  1. An embassy would be found outside India, not inside it. You could find out from the Foreign Ministry offices about dual nationality.


  2. NATIONS only have embassies in forigen  countries  ,,why should india have a embassy in mumbai its a part of india.

  3. if you are asking about citizenship? you do not address yourself to an embassy in your own country, embassies are oustide the country ....here is the new law on indian citizenship:

    Indian Parliament Approves Dual Citizenship

    The Indian Parliament on the 22nd of December 2003 passed a Bill to grant dual citizenship to the people of Indian origin. The Citizenship (amendment) Bill, 2003, would enable both Bharatvasis and Bharatvanshis to contribute together to the cause of India's development.  Although the Bill has been passed out the rules, regulations and requirements are still under process.

    The Bill defines "overseas citizen of India" to mean a person who

    (i)                  is of Indian origin being a citizen of a specified country,

    (ii)                 or/ was a citizen of India immediately before becoming a citizen of a specified country and is registered as an overseas citizen of India by the Central Government.

    (iii)                an overseas citizen will not be entitled to the rights conferred on a citizen of India and will not have the right to equality of opportunity in matters of public employment, will not have voting rights and also will not be eligible to be a member of either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.

    Besides overseas citizenship, the Bill has a new Section 14A on the subject of issue of national identity cards, stipulating that the Central Government may compulsorily register every citizen of India and issue the national identity card and the Government may maintain a National Register of Indian Citizens and for that purpose establish a National Registration Authority.

    The bill on the other hand would simplify procedures like:

    facilitate the re-acquisition of Indian citizenship by persons of full age who are children of Indian citizens and former Indian citizens.

    the bill provides for grant of overseas citizenship of India to persons of Indian origin belonging to 16 specified countries and Indian citizens who choose to acquire citizenship of any of these countries at a later date.

    Among the 16 countries, the United States tops the list with a total estimated PIO population of 16.78 lakhs, the United Kingdom comes next with 12 lakhs and Canada is on the third spot with 8.51 lakh PIOs.

    The rest of the 14 countries are as follows: : Australia , Finland , Ireland , Italy , Netherlands , Israel , New Zealand , Cyprus, Sweden , Switzerland , France, Greece and Portugal

    An estimated 10 to 25 per cent of the total PIOs population of about 45 lakhs in these 16 countries could apply for overseas citizenship. As the legislation had secured Parliamentary approval, the Government was working to finalize the application form, procedure and the fees to be levied for granting overseas citizenship. The PIO card with steep fees had failed to click about three years ago and the Government would keep "a reasonable fee" structure in mind while framing the rules.

    this bill also makes acquisition of Indian citizenship and naturalization more stringent and prevents illegal migrants from becoming eligible for Indian citizenship.

    For those who have taken foreign passports, the grant of dual citizenship will remove the obstacles in travel to and from India with no multiple visa requirements

    Persons of Indian origin settled in economically more advanced countries of the world have skills and expertise in vital sectors. The facility of Dual Citizenship would foster better co-operation in these sectors by way of investments and transfer of skills and resources.

    The need of the PIOs to build emotional and cultural bonds with their will now be strengthened and will facilitate the Diaspora's contribution in India's social Development.

    Dual Citizenship would also help to bring about and establish links of the younger generation of the Diaspora with India as they may be keen to keep in touch with their roots.you have to address the gov. for citizenship if in India and the consulate if you are outside India.
